Bearing features

High load carrying capacity

High stiffness

Accommodate axial displacement (fig. 1)
Except for bearings with flanges on both the inner and outer rings.

Low friction
The open flange design (fig. 2), together with the roller end design and surface finish, promote lubricant film formation resulting in lower friction and higher axial load carrying capacity.

Long service life
The logarithmic roller profile reduces edge stresses at the roller/raceway contact (fig. 3) and sensitivity to misalignment and shaft deflection.

Enhanced operational reliability
The surface finish on the contact surfaces of the rollers and raceways supports the formation of a hydrodynamic lubricant film.

Separable and interchangeable
The separable components of SKF cylindrical roller bearings are interchangeable (fig. 4). This facilitates mounting and dismounting, as well as maintenance inspections.

In addition to the bearings presented in this section, SKF supplies cylindrical roller bearings for special application requirements. This assortment includes:
